chapter 180 part 1
Chapter 180: Who said this guy is a Genin? The one who wrote the report should really die!
The moment Danzo Shimura's bodyguards appeared, Uchiha Ren instantly connected the dots.
Tsunade, a strong candidate for the next Hokage.
As for himself, a thorn in Danzo's side, a festering wound in his flesh.
This mission, which would directly eliminate both of them, was truly killing two birds with one stone for Danzo.
Thinking of how the Snow Ninja used the secret of Tsunade's phobia to capture her while she was utterly defenseless, Uchiha Ren couldn't help but curse Danzo as a beast.
That old bastard Danzo, even when Pain's Six Paths were bombing Konoha, he remained indifferent, not dispatching a single soldier.
Even his brainwashed Root subordinates couldn't stand it, but Danzo stubbornly refused to participate or care.
He would rather the village be destroyed than relinquish the slightest chance of inheriting the Hokage position.
It didn't surprise Uchiha Ren in the slightest that Danzo would do something to harm Konoha's own shinobi.
What surprised him was that Danzo acted so early and was so determined to get rid of him, even at the cost of sacrificing Kakashi and Tsunade.
It seemed Danzo regarded the Uchiha Clan as a major threat!
There was actually someone in the Uchiha Clan that he couldn't control?
Hmph!
Then it was best to eliminate them early, lest they turn against him like Shisui, who with his single Mangekyo Sharingan, almost started a revolt.
Yamanaka Fu and Torune Aburame were both shocked when they saw Uchiha Ren dodge the attack.
Neither of them wore forehead protectors, but their parasitic insect techniques basically revealed their affiliations.
Seeing the parasitic insects, it wasn't hard to deduce who was behind this.
Doto Kazahana roared, "Let's end this quickly!"
At this moment, hundreds of samurai were frantically rushing towards the palace, brandishing long swords and shouting, attempting to overwhelm the three Konoha shinobi with sheer numbers.
Uchiha Ren's eyes narrowed, and his aura suddenly soared. A formless but powerful Conqueror's Haki instantly engulfed the entire area like a surging tide!
That formless Conqueror's Haki swept through like a violent storm, and the samurais' footsteps abruptly halted!
The samurai at the very front seemed to have suddenly crashed into an invisible high wall, their eyes wide with terror and disbelief. Their long swords clattered to the ground, and they collapsed stiffly onto the cold, snowy earth.
Immediately afterward, the samurai around them also fell victim one after another. Some buckled at the knees and dropped directly to the ground, clutching their heads and groaning in pain. The eyes of others instantly became vacant, their bodies slowly falling backward as if their souls had been sucked out. Some still maintained their running posture but crashed to the ground under the pressure of the Haki, like a frozen painting.
In a short while, the hundreds of samurai who had initially been surging with momentum lay in various postures on the snowy ground. Some had their heads buried in others' arms, while others directly sprawled onto their comrades' bodies.
The scene was a mess, quite unsightly.
At this moment, Fubuki Kamiyuki and Mizore Fuyukuma, who were locked in a fierce battle with Kurenai Renhi, were also affected by this wave of Conqueror's Haki.
Both of their bodies stiffened abruptly, their eyes rolling back as their movements came to a sudden halt.
Kurenai would never miss such a golden opportunity. She quickly formed hand seals, muttered an incantation, and pushed her hands forward in a diamond shape!
"Evil Sealing Method!"
A mysterious light flashed, precisely and flawlessly enveloping Fubuki Kamiyuki!
In an instant, the chakra armor that had been glowing brightly on her body dimmed and lost its light, as if someone had extinguished a lamp. Her chakra was completely sealed away.
On Might Guy's side, seizing the moment Mizore Fuyukuma was stunned, he shouted, "Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
This flying kick, imbued with fierce wind, landed heavily on Mizore Fuyukuma's body, sending him flying!
He carved a long trail on the ground, sliding far into the distance along the ice.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically!
The once chaotic and noisy battlefield now had only a few people left standing.
Those surviving samurai, under the lingering power of the Conqueror's Haki, swayed precariously, having almost lost their ability to fight.
The battlefield instantly fell into a dead silence. Only the cold wind howled, stirring up snowflakes from the ground and adding a strange atmosphere to this sudden turn of events.
Yamanaka Fu's eyes widened, staring incredulously at the samurai who had fallen all around him. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripping onto the snowy ground and instantly melting into small puddles of water.
He felt uneasy all over, as if a fierce beast that had been lurking for a long time was staring intently at him, ready to devour him at any moment.
He swallowed with difficulty, his throat terribly dry, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "What on earth happened? What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
His gaze darted frantically over the people around him, trying to find answers on their faces.
However, all that met his eyes was the same shock and bewilderment.
In an instant, only a few samurai who could barely stand remained on the field, along with Torune Aburame, Yamanaka Fu, Doto Kazahana, Nadare Roga, and Uchiha Ren's Team Seven.
Guy, Kurenai, and Uchiha Ren seized the opportunity to regroup.
"I don't know what happened, but you did great, Ren!" Guy gave Uchiha Ren a thumbs-up, flashing a bright, toothy smile.
Kurenai, however, thought a bit more deeply than Guy.
If this were a time of war, Uchiha Ren's ability alone could turn the tide of most battles.
Everyone below the rank of Chunin would be instantly annihilated.
It was too terrifying!
Torune Aburame now looked at Yamanaka Fu, and both saw an anxious look in each other's eyes.
They couldn't hide this matter. If they failed to kill Uchiha Ren, not only would there be endless trouble in the future, but Danzo would also be unable to escape the crime of harming Konoha shinobi.
Thinking of this, Yamanaka Fu shouted, "Doto Kazahana! Nadare Roga! Help me hold off the two Jonin! As long as we kill that Genin, our deal is complete! You won't have to worry about the rest!"
Doto Kazahana, who had just recovered from Uchiha Ren's genjutsu, laughed when he heard this.
